My invention relates to containers and more particularly liquid containers which cannot be refilled after they have been used.
An object of my invention is to provide a liquid container which can be manufactured at low cost and which is highly efiicient and durable.
Another object of my invention is to provide a liquid container consisting of an outer and inner receptacle which is provided with means for feeding the liquid from the outer receptacle into the inner receptacle.
Yet another object of my invention is to pro vide a container which may be used for liquids employed in connection with permanent hair waving apparatus.
With these and other objects in view, which may be incident to my improvements, the invention consists in the parts and combinations to be hereinafter set forth and claimed, with the understanding that the several necessary elements comprising my invention may be varied in construction. proportions and arrangements, without departing from the spirit and scope of the appended claims.
In order to make my invention more clearly understood, I have shown in the accompanying drawings means for carrying the same into practical effect without limiting the improvements in their useful applications to the particular constructions which, for the purpose of explanation, have been made the subject of illustration.

Figure 22 is a detailed view in section showing the container in Figure 21 in use.
Figure 23 is a view taken along lines 23-23 of Figure 21.
Referring to the drawings and more particularly to Figure 1 there is shown a container designated generally I. The body portion of the container made up of a side wall 2 and a bottom closure 3. The bottom closure 3 is crimped to the side wall as at 4, forming a double seam 5. The seam 5 in addition to affording a leakproof union also serves as a supporting element for the container. The bottom closure 3 is provided with a centrally disposed well portion 6, the purpose of which will later be more thoroughly discussed.
A second container 7 of truncated cone shape is adapted to be positioned within the container l. The larger end of the container 1 is provided with a peripheral flanged portion 8 which terminates in an upwardly extending portion 9. The upwardly extending portion 9 is crimped to the side wall 2 forming a double seam 10. A smaller end H of the container 1 extends downwardly into the well 6. It should be noted that the end ll extends below the bottom 010- I sure 3 due to the well 6. 50
As shown in Figure 2 the outer container is adapted to be filled with suitable liquid in any desired manner. After the necessary amount of liquid has been admitted into the container I, the container 1 is positioned therein and is crimped to the side wall 2 in the manner hereinbefore pointed out.
In order to permit the liquid from the container I to flow into the container I I provide the following arrangement:
The smaller end II of the inner container I is provided with a weakened area I2. The weak ened area I2 is of such thickness as will permit a pointed object to be inserted therethrough with a minimum of effort. The flanged portion 8 of the container 7 is also provided with a weakened area I3. The weakened areas I2 and I3 are identical in construction and the area I3 is clearly depicted in Figure 4. As shown in Figure 1 a suitable piercing or punching member It can be secured to the flanged portion 8 by soldering or the like.
When the area I2 is opened the liquid will tend to seep into the container 1 but due to the vacuum created in the container I only a small be broken and the liquid will assume the level depicted in Figure 3.
In the. event it is desired to ship the containers, a quantity of suitable absorbent material c'anbe placed within the inner container I for use as an applicator and the entire container can be wrapped in some material such as Cellophane or the like. It will be appreciated that such a container will provide a very attractive "and saleable article. Moreover the container cannot be refilled after use.
In Figure 5-1 have shown the container depicted in Figure 2 as being provided with a suitable closure member. In this form it can be seen that suitable absorbent material 20 is disposed within the container I. This material, of course, can be used as an applicator for the liquid contained in the container A flanged top 2| is fitted over the seam I0 and is held in place by means of a removable flanged band 22. One of the free ends of the band 22 is provided with a tapered portion 23 having a slot 24. The other free end of the band is provided with a tab 25 which extends through the slot 24 to hold the band in place. The band 22 can be removed by Withdrawing the tab 25 from the slot thereby freeing the band. Of course it is to be understood that other sealing, structures may be employed in lieu of the band.
In Figures 6 and '7 I have shown a somewhat modified form of the container depicted in Figure 1. The free end 30 of the inner container 1 instead of being crimped to the side Wall 2 as shown in Figure 2 is soldered thereto as at 30. Apertures 3| and 32 are provided in the periphery B and the smaller end II of the container I, respectively. Tabs 33 each having an upwardly depending portion 34 are secured over the apertures 3| and 32. As shown in Figure 8 the tab 33 may be secured over the aperture 32 by soldering to the bottom In this form of container the removal of the tabs from the apertures 3| and 32 will cause the liquid contained in the outer container to flow into the inner container.
I have shown still another embodiment of my invention in Figures 9 to 14 inclusive. In this form it can be seen that the side and bottom walls of the outer container are made of a single piece depicted 40. The larger end of the inner container I is secured to the container 4 by soldering as at 4|. The smaller end II of -49 and 49".
of a side wall GI and a bottom closure 62.
the inner container abuts the bottom closure of the container 40.
In order to permit the water in the outer container to flow into the inner container, the inner container is provided with a weakened area or rip strip 43 which is formed by a pair of parallel grooves 44 and I5. The area :33 extends from substantially the lower end to the upper end of the container I. A rin 45 is secured to the lower end of the rip strip 43 as at ll,
By pulling the ring 45 to the position shown by dotted lines in Figure 10, the weakened area 43 will be opened and the liquid will flow into the inner container.
Referring to Figures 13 and 14, there is shown another form of my container. In this form, the inner container 1 is provided with a separate bottom 48. As depicted in Figure 13 the bottom 48 may be secured to the inner container by soldering or the like.
The inner container is also provided with a weakened area 49 formed by a pair of grooves A tab 48 is provided for removing the weakened area when it is desired to use the container.
In Figures 15 to 18, I have shown my container as being made of glass or similar material. The outer and inner containers 50 and 5| as clearly shown in Figure 16 are molded into a unitary receptacle. A small end 52 of the inner container 5| is provided with a nib 53. As shown in Figure 18, the nib 53 may be blown into the desired shape. Similarly a nib 54 is provided adjacent a large end 55 of the container 5|. As the nibs 53 and 54 are frangible it will be appreciated that when they are broken the liquid in the outer container 50 will flow into the inner container 5| by gravity.
In Figures 19 and 20 I have shown my concept as applied to a drinking vessel. In this form the outer container designated is composed The bottom closure 62 is crimped to the side wall 6| as at 63 affording a leakproof joint.
An inner container 64 of conical configuration is disposed within the container 60 and is secured to the side wall by soldering as at 65. The inner container 64 extends from the upper end of the container 60 to substantially the bottom closure 62.
In order to permit the liquid in the outer container 60 to flow into the inner container, the inner container 64 is provided with a weakened area or rip strip 66. A suitable operating member 61 provided with a finger grip 68 is secured to the end of the weakened area as at 69. By pulling the operating member 6'! the area 66 will be removed and the liquid will flow into the inner container.
It is believed apparent that the foregoing container may be employed as a container for liquids such as beer or the like. Not only will the receptacle be used as a container for the liquid when not in use but it also can be used for drinking purposes.
In Figures 21 to 23 inclusive I have shown another form of drinking vessel. In this form the inner container 10 is of concave configuration and is secured to the side wall 6| by soldering as at II. It should be noted that the inner container 10 extends into the outer container 60 approximately one third of the height of the container 60.
In order to permit the liquid to flow into the container 10, a weakened area 12 formed by grooves II and I4 is provided in the container II. An operating member 15 is secured to the weakened area as at 16. Obviously when the operating member 15 is pulled the weakened area I2 will be removed.
In this form oi! device, however, it is necessary that the container 60 assume an angular position before the liquid will flow into the inner.
container. This is, 01' course, due to the fact that the inner container extends but a short-distance within the outer container.
From the foregoing description, it is believed apparent that I have provided a liquid container which cannot be refilled after it has been used.
Furthermore, I have devised a container which can be easily and cheaply manufactured and yet which is eflicient and positive in operation.
While I have shown and described the prei'erred embodiment of my invention, I wish it to be understood that I do not confine myself to the precise details of construction herein set forth by way of illustration, as it is apparent that many changes and variations may be made therein, by those skilled in the art, without departing from the spirit of the invention, or exceeding the scope of the appended claims.
I claim:
1. A device of the character described com prising an outer container, an open top inner container having increasing width toward its top, the inner container being mounted within the outer container and extending substantially to'the bottom 01' the outer container with. its bottom slightly spaced from the bottom of said outer containensaid inner container being secured and sealed at its upper end to the upper end of the outer container, said inner'container having a substantially smooth and even inner surface for harmless and thorough wiping contact oi absorbent material, said inner container having rupturable means at its bottom and the device, being provided with additional rupturable means at its top adapted when ruptured to admit air to the outer container to permit the liquid to flow from the outer container through an opening, provided by rupturing the first-mentioned rupturable means, to the inner container.
